Gilas' bench was cleared in the incident as Pinoys went after the Boomers. Things escalated quickly and some water bottles were thrown from the stands towards the Australian bench in the middle of it all.

Gilas' bench was cleared in the incident as Pinoys went after the Boomers. Things escalated quickly and some water bottles were thrown from the stands towards the Australian bench in the middle of it all.

After the commotion, it appeared that Australia's Nathan Sobey took the grunt of the beating after getting hit by chair thrown apparently thrown by a spectator. Jason Cadee also looked like he took a some direct hits.

A worthy note in all of this is the fact that the Australia bench was never cleared. The Boomers on the bench never left their area in the middle of the brawl.

That definitely factored in the sanction as only four players from Australia were ejected. They were Thon Maker, Nathan Sobey, Daniel Kickert, and Chris Goulding.
